I found a really interesting group on Flickr about Skin Imprints:

http://www.flickr.com/groups/skinimprints/

“This group is only for photos of skin (the human kind) with unnatural imprints. Meaning you either made the imprint yourself, or accidentally because you pressed your skin against some object that left the mark. No cuts, natural wrinkles, moles, scars, etc.”

I thought this description was quite interesting; looking at more unnatural ways of imprint the skin that is temporary. But i am not sure if what i am doing is as accidental or unnatural as this has described.

Here are some more skin imprints that have come from 3d experimental work:

Made from a couch.....



An experiement with wrapping with a bandage:

After 10 minutes:

After 20 minutes:
After 25 minutes:
The marks made by this bandage were quite subtle but the colour of my foot is intense.. Would this change on another person? This colour only lasted 1 minute but the imprints lasted up for 10-15 mins and faded slowly. Walking around with this bandage on was very painful and i had to hop around as pressure on the foot with this bandage was very high and was hard to stand on the foot normally because of how tight i had wrapped it.
